Neither was Paizo once upon a time![]()
Paizo was a company of 40+ which published Dragon and Dungeon for them, was practically next door to them, and was owned by their ex-employees (one of whom was a multi-millionaire due to WotC stock after Hasbro bought it!) When WotC cancelled the magazines, Paizo kept the 60K+ subscriptions and switched them over to Pathfinder. Given all those advantages, it would have been impressive if they’d failed.
Paizo was never not on their radar. It’s a literal old boys club up there in Seattle (except fortunately it’s not just boys!)
EN Publishing has one full time employee, IIRC, about 5000 miles away from Seattle!
